jack the car up wheels off the ground..if it has play side to side up an down...most likely your bearings are done needs fixing NOW

If it only moves from side to side with lots of play but not moving an suspension parts, take a big pair of pliers an grab the tie rod end an see if it has play an if it does then replace it...when i mean play its all moving in the boot very easy ...If you dont know how to do this, go to any shop an most of them might look at it , might charge you alittle DIAG fee but might be worth you time if your not able to do this.Best of luck Joshua

Most racks dont come with tie rod ends...Unless they install some new ones when they bought the rack an installed it...But remember every part is MAN made anything can happen...BTW what kinda car are we talking about

most likely its the bearings!And those are Pressed in so you would have to press the hub off an press the bearing out, an re install an press it all back in...BTW if you replace all 4 wheel studs while your there.You will thank me later if you do!
Most shops charges from 100-150 labor/parts to do this!

oh yeah one last thing it took a month and a half for my camber kit to come in so i drove around with a major unalignment that could have made the bearing go bad right?
